Naoki Azuma, the creator of Keishicho Zoshi and Dragon & Ape, launched GLITCH WITCH on Kodansha's YanMaga Web website this week. The manga is set in the world of Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell, with Shirow credited for the original concept. New chapters update every other Wednesday. The launch follows the Science SARU television anime, which ended its 10-episode run on Tuesday.
GLITCH WITCH follows an investigation by the FBI, AI researchers, and the military into a battle between Project 2501, the Puppeteer, and a Solomon-class AI entrusted with the fate of humanity. The Puppeteer merges with protagonist Motoko Kusanagi at the end of THE GHOST IN THE SHELL.
The manga lands as the Science SARU television anime wraps its 10-episode run. That series premiered July 7 on the Ka-Anival!! block on Kansai TV and Fuji TV, and streams on Prime Video in over 240 countries and regions.
